Hungarian Potato Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter, until pieces of butter are no larger than peas. Use a fork to stir in mashed potatoes, breaking them up into chunks. Make a well in the mixture, and pour in egg, water and milk. Stir into a loose dough using the fork.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead for 6 or 8 times so the dough holds together. Pat the dough out to about 3/4 inch thickness, and cut into circles with a biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons milk.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bottoms are golden.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, combine the potatoes, buttermilk, butter and honey; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. , Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Pat or roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. , Bake at 425° for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Sift the salt and flour and then cut in the margarine until well blended. Add the cream, potatoes and 3 of tit, egg yolks Stir and knead together, roll out them. Fold over 4 times and chill until firm. Repeat the rolling, folding and chilling process 2 more times. Roll out 1/4 inch thick and brush with remaining egg yolk and cut into small squares biscuit see and place onto cookie sheet. Bake at 400 F. for about 15 minutes or until light brown. Yields about 24 biscuits.

Steps:

• Pour melted butter in a casserole.
• In a medium bowl, combine eggs, sour cream, salt and pepper and mix well.
• Layer in casserole half of the potatoes, green onions, sour cream mixture and bread crumbs.
• Repeat a second layer of each.
• Sprinkle with paprika.
• Bake in 350 F for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Peel and cut up the potatoes in water. She says to use 1 1/2 cups of water and save the water! You simmer the potatoes until soft. Use the cooking water for the bread. I usually use a little more water to have on hand, just in case. This recipe calls for a lot of flour so I usually end up using a bit more water than called for.
• 2. While the potatoes cool, put about 5 cups of flour and the salt in a large bowl. And the caraway seeds if using. "Take 3 Tablespoons of flour, mix with 1/2 cup of warm water and the yeast. Set aside 20-30 minutes in a warm place covered with a cloth". Thats not how I usually mix in my yeast, but today we are Hungarians! We do this the Hungarian way!
• 3. Rice the potatoes (with a potato ricer, that I picked up just for this recipe) into the bowl with the flour and salt and add the water from the pot. (If you have no ricer, just mash the potatoes up with a fork or potato masher real good).
• 4. Mix the flour, potatoes, potato water and salt with a wooden spoon or dough hook in a mixer. Add the additional flour as needed to make a soft dough, tacky, not too sticky. Knead for at least 10 minutes. Put dough in oiled bowl, oil the top, cover and let rise about 1 hour or until double.
• 5. Punch down dough and form into 1 or 2 round or oval loaves. Place on baking sheets, put into the cold oven and let rise again, about 20-30 minutes before you turn on oven to 400 degrees. Bake about 45 minutes or until golden in color. (this is if you are making 1 large loaf, as she usually does. If making 2 smaller loaves they will be done sooner.) "Bon appetite!!!". ***NOTE: I usually let the dough rise on the baking sheet while the oven preheats BEFORE putting it in. Ms. Charlotte actually lets the dough rise IN the oven, then after 20-30 minutes turns on the oven with the dough already STILL IN it. The dough warms up as the oven heats and starts baking as it preheats. Its your call which way you want to do it. I sometimes like to bake this bread in a dutch oven for a crustier loaf. (if letting rise on the counter, be sure to oil tops and cover with plastic. Remove of course, before baking.)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine milk, yeast and sugar and let stand until yeast is softened, about 10 minutes.
• Add flour, cheese, salt, eggs, butter, and sour cream to the yeast mixture. Using an electric mixer, mix on low speed until dough comes together. Beat on medium speed 1 to 2 minutes. The dough should be smooth and not sticky.
• Roll dough 1/2 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Make a shallow cross-hatched pattern with the point of a sharp knife over the top of the dough and brush with egg yolk. Sprinkle cheese on top, and cut out rounds with a 1 to 1 1/2 inch cutter.
• Arrange circles in rows on a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1/4 inch apart. Put pan in a cold oven and set temperature to 400 degrees F. Bake about 25 minutes, until pogacsa are nicely browned on their tops and bottoms. Let cool completely and store airtight.
• Pogacsa may also be frozen up to 1 month. Thaw and reheat at 225 degrees F for 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 180° c.Put 100g margarine and 50g sugar into a bowl and cream it. Add 100g of flour and ½ a teaspoon of Vanilla essence into the mixture and mix to form a stiff dough.
• Do the same with the other ingredients (in a separate bowl), only add the cocoa.
• Now, with the two separate mixtures, take the first one, and roll it out onto a floured surface. Roll it to a 5mm thickness.
• Put the second mixture (the cocoa one) on top, and roll it out to relatively the same shape. You now have two different coloured layers.
• Take the longest side of the dough and roll it so that the dough now forms a cylinder shape with a spiral visible on either end.
• Cut the dough vertically into 16 pieces and lay them on a baking tray that is lined with greased greaseproof paper.
• Put in the oven for 15 minutes and take out when they are golden and still slightly soft, as they will set hard.
